tomsteve Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) welp, that dome clock was definately a fun build last winter! ive been lookin the last couple days for this winters build and hopefully something that will take a little longer. plus a little more challenging, not that the dome clock wasnt a challenge. ive done 2 clocks now- the dome clock and the workshop clock, so ive been thinkin of something different. i think ive narrowed down to this chippendale cabinet https://cherrytreetoys.com/chippendale-cabinet-plan/ or the 1800's secretary https://cherrytreetoys.com/1800s-style-secretary-cabinet-plan/ or the parlor cabinet https://cherrytreetoys.com/parlor-cabinet-plan/ buuuuut, then keep seeing the david roentgen secretary and then theres his writing desk buuuuut, i can eliminate those to absolutely amazing works of art and engineering. i love seeing this work that was done in the 1700's, but they are way beyond my abilities, and by abilities i mean patience!LOLOLO so, narrowed down to 3 choices- at this time. but the day is young. of course, i could keep it simple and make a puzzle!

JOE_M Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 All 3 look like nice pieces to build, although every time I see those plans I have to wonder what type of decor they would fit into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab4 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Hi Tom: I looked at this and the first thing that came to mind "Holy crap, Tom, how long are your winters" I too choose the last one, right up my alley Good luck with whatever you choose to do keep us posted Thanks Fab4 tomsteve and danny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I don't think I have the patience to do any of the first ones and certainly have no smarts for the other. Any of them would keep me busy and my grandchildren can finish it. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsN Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 If I had to build one of the three I would go for the chippendale cabinet. It looks like something that is beautifully ornate, but could be used I feel like if the other two were in a room I wouldn't let anyone go in for fear of them breathing wrong and breaking something. I also think that the chippendale cabinet would be the easiest to fit into the decor of an existing room. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I could never lock myself into one project. Need to have multiple things going to keep sane. I turn pens and also scroll. When I turn pens I like to make my own blanks so that gets interesting and no two are alike. This winter I do want to try my hand at some record cuttings also. If you take one of those projects on I hope you have a place to put it and make it portable. Good luck we will be watching. tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Tom, if you're anything like me, you don't like other people picking out what you cut. Personally, I like to pick what I cut myself, there's just some subjects that I hate cutting. And if I leave it up to someone else to pick, they are more then likely to pick my most unfavorite subject. Len tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 The winter project for me would be The Last Supper in Intarsia. Over 800 pieces and very detailed. It's on my bucket list Lucky2 and tomsteve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsteve Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 JT brought up having more than one project going- my neice got ahold of me last night: "uncle tom, i have the money to remodel my bathroom. can we go look at tile and stuff?" that work by roentgen is so amazing. i think id be happy just seeing them in person. the marquetry on them alone is stunning! im in west metro detroit. winters are too long. typically early november though march i live in my shop.

Scrappile Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 If you do any one of those project, I wondering what else you will build to keep busy! One thing I am getting prepared for, via looking up info, watching videos, reading articles, is marquetry. Heppnerguy, gave me a pretty big supply of veneers, before he moved and became Arizonaguy. I want to try to learn how to make pictures with marquetry. May be another art I find I have no talent for.... tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsteve Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 scrappile, that puzzle above doubles as my marquetry skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
